Who was the greater ameteur Guillermo Rigondeux or Vasyl Lomachenko?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
Vasyl Lomachenko

2 Time Olympic Gold Medalist

2 Time World Amateur Gold Medalist + 1 Silver Medal

1 Time Euro Amateur Gold Medalist

Val Barker winner

Guillermo Rigondeaux

2 Time Olympic Good Medalist

2 Time World Amateur Gold Medalist

I didnt include the Pan American Games and Central American and Caribbean Games as Cuba are the only really the good boxing nation in them.

It's close but I think it has to be Lomachenko as he was he Val barker winner.

Guillermo Rigondeux amateur record ( 374-12 ).

Vasyl Lomachenko amateur record ( 396-1 ).

They are both amateur Gold medalist but Rigondeaux beat Abner mares. A former world champion before his shocking defeat to Gonzales. That was a great victory but Lomacheko reign lasted longer.

I will give the edge to Lomachenko because he beat more prospects than Guillermo Rigondeaux.

Vasyl has been called the greatest amateur boxer in history.



With that said; I believe Rigo is handling his pro career in a smarter way. He is taking it easier. Rigo fought his first real champion by his 7th pro fight and he almost lost [won via split ud].



Vasyl is taking it imo too fast. His first pro fight he won a paper title, but his second pro fight he wants to fight a real champion.

Felix Savon, 3 Olympic golds and 6 world champions gold medals.
